Career

Providence Journal

Sulzberger worked as an intern for The Providence Journal from 2004 to 2006, working from the paper's office in Wakefield.[6] While there, he revealed that membership of the Narragansett Lions Club was not open to women.[6] Despite threats from the club to withdraw their advertising if the story was run, the Journal published Sulzberger's story.[6] The Narragansett Lions Club began admitting women members a few months later.[6]

Sulzberger worked as a news reporter for The Oregonian newspaper in Portland from 2006 to 2009.[7]

New York Times

In February 2009, Sulzberger began writing for the Times. The newspaper published his first article on March 2, 2009.[8]

He was named an associate editor of The New York Times in August 2015.[9] In October 2016, he was named deputy publisher, putting him in line to succeed his father as publisher.[1][3][10]

On December 14, 2017, it was announced that he would take over as publisher on January 1, 2018. He is the sixth member of the Ochs-Sulzberger family to serve in the role.[11][12]

The 2017 film Kodachrome, directed by Mark Raso, is based upon one of his 2010 articles.[13]

Sulzberger meeting at the White House

Sulzberger met Trump at The White House on July 20, 2018. He said in a statement, "I told the president directly that I thought that his language was not just divisive but increasingly dangerous. I warned that this inflammatory language is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and will lead to violence."[14][15][16]
